AXE SITUATION IN EUROPE.
"a" INC ioWerS ANXIOUS Tor Peace, but Adj
FehturcrS Likely 10 Cause War.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Baron Tayero,
: the new minister from Austria, has sub.
: united to an interview of some lonpth
with representative Of tho Post, in the
course OF which he touches upon the
hSeliy affair, tho war agitation in Europe
tho Bulgarian situation, and Austria's
apprehension about it, and the probabil-
lty OF war between France and Germany.
In regard to Koiloy's rejection by Aus
trla, he sal in response to a SUGGESTION
that Austria's desire to be on friendly
terms with Italy had caused it: sTt haa
nothing to dO with Italy. We th3ught
his social position WOulu not be DlCas-
ant one i'll Nionha. There are certain
preJudlcc3 that cannot bC overcome, and
II Is useless to discuss them. OF course
you understand me. | do not and I
cannot enter into any long argument
with you about this matter, because to
40 so would be to invite papers in Amer
lca and papers in Austria to take it up
and continue the discussion, which
would be very proiitlos5 thing to do.
Lhcre has never been any question ut
issue between the two countries. We
nave been represented here by charge
dattalres because Baron SchoctlGr has
been very i'll. He came near dying, and
bad to remain i'll Russia"
Everybody in Europe, he says, is
anxious for peace, but there may be
war, "bCcause outside Of the Cabinets
there arc adventurcr8 who arc unscru-
pulous and who want war for their own
private ends. These people may force q
conillct, although their Government NAV
be dong everything that is possible to
avoid 1t. Who could have forcsccn the
deposition Of Prince Alexander? Thpt
was something that no one c&lcul tcd
on, and yet is just such a thing that dis
arranScS all OF ones calculations. 1t is
like lot OF people pulling at both ends
OF rope. 1t is all right as long as the
rope holds, but it may part" The C2ar
and NJ. de GiCrS w&u5 to avoid WAY, he
says, but Al. Katlloil, the editor Of the
MOSCOW Gazette, a man Of great innu-
ence with the Czar, speaks The desire OF
the Iun-SlnVlStS for war. In regard 70
Austrla's appreLcnaions about BULGARIA.,
he says, III answer to the inquiry whcth-
er trouble is expected: 81 cannot tell.
but 1t Is certain Austria will not be the
a9grcssor. We arc as absolutely mas.
ters OF the situation in our country. ns

burst Of popular feeling among the Hun
Sarlans, who, Of course, remember fhn
events Of 1913 and the part Russia took
III them, or any Of the nationQlties that
comprise the empire, could forco the
government into war unless it was fully
resolved to take thut course. With
hnsSla, however, it is dillci eut, because
OF Nlhllism, which might drive the Czar
and his advisers into wGr agar IS their
will; and in Q'rancu the ngtiCn&l feeling
might bo so strong as to produce the
Same result. Austria would offer no
ohJcct!cn to Russia putting d Candidate

was done legally and by an election by
the Grand Sobranjo. Wo have no OBJ

Turkey is attacked the signatory Powers

lend her; while, as long as her rights
arc not violated and the stutu quo ante
IS maintained, it is inmatcriaI whether Il
German OF l!ussian prince Is ON the BrI-
64nan throne. Undoubtedly, Prince
Alexander WAS treated very hnrally, bat

baron quietly, 1T is agreement"
"NuppoSc one OF the 3jgnatory Powers

OF Batoum?'
"Well, sud the Baron, slowly, "na-
tion8 don't go to wAr unless tncy are
forced to; They try to avoid it us much
as possible"
Baron, ""s asked, "what about
France, is it war or peace with herr"
"trancc," replied the ambassador,
meditativclly, with smile as significant
as his words. "Erancc! General Bou-
lan9cr IS ambitious"
